Siri will sing Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody to you if you say one simple line

An old trick that sees Siri sing Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody has resurfaced online and everyone is laughing at it all over again.

It’s a great prank to play on your friends, and it’s not the only entertaining quip built into Apple’s digital assistant either.

Siri will sing Bohemian Rhapsody

All you have to do is open Siri on any Apple device, including iPhone, iPad and Mac, and say this line: “I see a little silhouette of a man.”

Siri will then recite a large part of the Queen song back to you, but the voice assistant doesn’t sing it, it says it in its normal robotic tone.

“Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the fandango. Thunderbolt and lightning, very very frightening,” it recalls.

This makes the famous 1975 track by the British rock band sound absolutely hilarious, and it feels like it goes on forever.

At one point, it gets even funnier as the digital assistant changes up the lyrics, saying: “Im just a poor assistant, nobody loves me.”

The song sounds different depending on your Siri settings too. You can choose between male or female and the accent matches the country you are in.

To open Siri on an iPhone, you simply have to hold down the lock button on the side of the device for a few seconds.

Apple trick has people in hysterics

The voice trick has been around since 2017, but many have only just discovered it in the past few months after it went viral on TikTok.

“It works I just tried this I laughed so hard,” someone said.

Another wrote: “Omg it works I’m over here rolling with laughter,” said another.

A third person added: “I just did this… omg I thought she was never gonna stop.”

“Too damn funny,” someone else said.
